THE DILLON TRACT SALE.
The Minimum Price OF Iots Not Yet
Determined by the City.

The advertised sale of II part of the Dillon
tract by the city on next Tuesday is attract
ing a great deal of interest. Council at its
last meeting fixed $4,000 as the minimum
price for the portion which it wants to sell
The matter of fixing minimum value on
each block was left to the Committee on City
Lots As some of the blocks are more
valuable than others, the lowest bids
that viii be received will have to be scaled
with Judgment and delicacy. The blocks
along Seventh street are of course worth
considerably more than the blocks further
out. AS yet the minimum prices have not
been announced II they are held back until
the day Of sale 10 be announced by the auc-
tiOnecr, intending purchasers who are well
acquainted with the land will have a great
advantage over those who are less familiar
with it.
A good many citizens cr moderate means
are planning to form pools and buy a few
blocks, which they viii afterwards divide
into lots among themselves for building
homes. These parties desire to find out the
minimum figures which the City Council

INDIAN INFANT MARRIAGE.
A Bombay Court Reluctantly Com
PEELED to Enforce Cruel Law.

From the London T.AleS.
CALCUTTA, March lS-The case of Ruk-
mibhai, the native lady whose wrongs
aroused SO general feeling of sympathy in
England and India, is probably fresh in the
memory of your readers, but as the case
now appears to be on the point of reaching
Il crisis it may be well to recapitulate the
facts briefly. Rukmibhai was married, ac-
cording TO Hindoo usage, at the age of II, to
youth some years her senior. She remained
at her parents house, was carefully edu-
Gated, and grew up, according to all &C
counts, into refined and highly cultivated
lady. Some eighteen months ago she pub
lislred in the Times Of India, under
the nom de plume of "a Hin
doc Lady a series of forcible and striking
letters on the miseries entailed on her sex in
India by the barbarous customs of infant
marriage and enforced widowhood. Last
year her husband tried to get her to live
with him, and on her refusing instituted
suit for the restitution of conjugal rights in
the Bombay High Court. The case was
tried i'll the first instance by Mr.. Justice
Pinhey, when it having been proven that the
husband was too poor to support her, was
utterly ignorant and uneducated-in fact a
mere cooGe-and was, moreover, consump-
tive, the Judge expressed the opinion that it
would be a barbarous, cruel and revolving
thing to compel her to live with such man.
He further held that such suit could not lie
under Hindoo law and dismissed it.
The husband appealed, and the case was
argued before the Chief Justice and Mr..
Justice Bayley Those learned Judges,
while expressing their entire sympathy with
Rullmibhai, felt compelled to rule that Mr..
Justice Pinhey was wrong in law, and re-
manded the case to the lower court for trial
on its merits. 1t has now been reheard be-
fore Mr.. Justice Farran. Rul1nibhai's
counsel could only repeat that his client had
never consented to the marriage and never
regarded the man as her husband; that the
husband was poor, ignorant and unhealthy
and that If ordered to return to
him she would be forced to disobey,
and was prepared to take the
consequences. The Court had no
option save to pass an order that she should
Join her husband within a month Should
she fail to do so she would be liable to six
months imprisonment. The case has ex-
cited much sympathy among the Anglo
Indian community. The English newspa-
pers are publishing articles and letters on
| the subject, and steps are being taken in
Bombay to raise fund on her behalf
Among the native community, however
hardly a single voice, except that of Mr.
Malabari, a Parsee gentleman, has been
raised in her favor, and the so-called reform
| ers who agitate loudly for representative in
situations, etc, say no word for the altera-
ton of the cruel law which the Bombay
| court has been reluctantly compelled to en-
forca

The State Of Iowa has been defeated in its
attempt to compel foreign railway corpora
tions to take out permit for the transaction
of business within that State, the condition of
such permit to be that the railway company
if sued by a citizen of the State shall not re-
move the case to a Federal court. The
Supreme Court of Iowa sustained the act of
the Legislature to this effect, but the United
States Supreme Court has just reversed the
decision, holding that the statute is void be-
cause it compels foreign corporations to sur
render a privilege secured to them by the
constitution and laws of the United States.
The corporation concerned in this case is the
Chicago and Northwestern, but the decision
applies to all other railway companies, ex-
cept the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific.
which have lines in Iowa while their head
quarters are outside of the State The prin-
ciple is a very important one and has long

A correspondent of the Baltimore Snn
asks how professional pitcher manages to
give curve to the path of a ball other than
that effected by the attraction of the earth.
He does it, it is said, by giving the ball
twist as it leaves his hand. That is, he gives
it motion of revolution in addition to the
motion of projection, and the curvature
secured depends upon the direction of the
axis OF revolution in reference TO the line of
the balls path. If the axis of revolution is
